ELECTRONIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A Solution with Its Own Challenges

The Serials
and Other Continuing Resources (SOCR)
Section and the University
of the Western Cape (UWC) invite you to participate in
an exciting experience hearing and discussing about Electronic
Resource Management systems (ERMs). The program will cover
how ERMs are driving organization change, what they may be
evolving into, the challenges they present to the libraries
using them, and whether they can be at all useful to libraries
who are just developing their online presence.

The opening plenary session will cover the historical development of ERMs by Kimberly
Parker, a member of the original Digital Library Federation Electronic Resource
Management Initiative group that developed the framework upon which all current
ERMs are now constructed.
